Landlords Anti Damp Paint | Matt Finish Paint | 5L in 20+ Colours | Damp Seal Prevent Build-up of Mildew | Damp Proof Paint for Wall and Ceiling | Anti Condensation Paint | Mould Paint | Classic Grey

PROS- 1. the paint came extremely securely packaged. I saw some other reviews had issues with this so perhaps they've updated their process. It was double boxed, padded and capped, then the can was in a separate bag with fibre reinforced tape securing the lid. 2. the paint is beautifully thick and creamy, very little dripping and zero splatter. Our arms did not look like we'd had a visit from the paint freckle fairy when we were done. In fact it's so rich and pigmented, that when I knocked the can over on the carpet it took two hours and multiple water changes to get it thoroughly clean again 🥲 3. It dries really fast. Not so fast that it ends up streaking and lumping as you're painting but fast enough that you can be applying a thin second coat in less than an hour. 4. It doesn't smell overly strongly, we had windows open but the smell still wasn't overwhelming such as I've experienced with other paints. 5. It goes a long way. A 5L can was enough to paint my entire bathroom and hallway/stairway, and my dining area. CONS- 1. The colour is off. The sage green looks pale and pleasant in the images and even the room design photos on the companies own website but it's actually quite dark. It's still a lovely colour but not what I was anticipating. 2. The lid was incredibly difficult to open. The edges that you have to get your pry under are very small so there's little to purchase and the plastic it's made from is very flexible and just bends when you're trying to pop it open. When trying to open it, the thin edges splintered and broke, and one hit me in the eye 😭 3. It does need two coats despite being advertised as a one coat product. *picture included shows a section of wall after 1 coat. Primer can be seen through the patching* although you can use a much thinner second coat due to the good coverage of the first. This is freshly painted on this week, so time will tell how it holds up. We have a moisture problem in our home and have purchased this paint to try and prevent issues like peeling and bubbling. I may update this review in the future depending on how it does.

Sage Green: As mentioned in other reviews it's not exactly the colour its advertised as. It's actually a deeper darker tone of sage green. I did read this in another review and still went ahead to purchase it because I didn't mind a deeper shade. However, I went through every emotion as I started painting with it. The first coat was GREEN. Like a dull forest green. I had instant regret but I'd spent all my funds on this paint pot so I just carried on. I hated it. But I still carried on with putting on a second coat and that's where things changed. It instantly transformed into a deep sage. It was starting to look like the 'posh' smart look i was aiming for! So be warned, it really does look it's best with 2+ coats. The amazing thing about this paint through, is the ease of it. It goes on so quickly and smooth with zero dripping/spitting mess! It also goes a very very long way, with on 5litre pot I've painted 3 whole rooms with 2 coats each. It's even managed to completely cover pitch black walls with just 2 coats. One pic shows 2 test colours for above dado rail. Left is Dulux Natural Hessian, Right is Dulux Egyptian Cotton.

***Edit*** I didn't have the heart to start looking for another shade for our living room, so decided to risk it and painted the room with this colour. All I can say is WOW!!! The paint is lovely and thick and goes on very easily without any spills. I still did 2 coats for even coverage and the colour has blown me away. It is lovely and bright when the sun is out, but by the evening when it's dark, it tones right down, leaving the room feeling warm and cosy. Really impressed and absolutely love it! I bought this in January, but due to helping my poor Dad through the last months of his life, have only just gotten around to decorating. I was so disappointed to see the colour, which is absolutely nothing like the colour that I ordered. I will keep it, as I can use it in my spare room. Will have to find another product!

It's about six shades darker; I'm not happy at all. It's ruined my workspace completely. I carried on hoping it would dry lighter, but it just got darker and darker.

I’ve already tried the white paint of this brand and it worked wonders on some damp patches on my ceiling. I live in an old house, prone to damp, so I thought I’d paint a few more rooms and choose the green version of the paint. It worked like a dream. Goes on easily, just the right amount of opacity and most importantly, the damp patches have not returned. It is economical too. I’ve painted two corridors and a small bathroom and still have over 3/4 of the tin left. As such the £40 price tag for 5 litres has proved good value for money. The paint does have a slight smell of ammonia but this fades after a few hours. It also dries quickly and coverage is good, even after one coat. The colour is darker than the swatch in the advert but I’m not too bothered about that. This may be the paint to stick with.
